Indore Mayor Seeks Rs 50 Crore Package for Water Supply Improvements
What happened
Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav requested a special package of Rs 50 crore from Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to reinforce Indore's drinking water supply system. The mayor stressed the need to maintain sufficient water reserves in Yashwant Sagar and Bilawali Lake, especially given less rainfall this year and the risk of a water crisis. Bhargav also urged the Chief Minister to explore releasing water from the Narmada-Gambhir Link Project to supply Bilawali Lake.

Why it matters
The request aims to strengthen critical water infrastructure in Indore, which is vital for the city's supply. The proposal involves utilizing the Narmada-Gambhir Link Project, linking local water bodies to the larger Narmada river system and requiring state government support for infrastructure commitment.
Madhya Pradesh is accelerating the Narmada water project under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
